Abstract

This paper briefly recounts the details of one of the first studies of whole brain, single subject variability in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). In this paper I will not attempt to provide an overview of fMRI reliability, but will instead revisit the choices we made in performing our experiment as we did.
